The Rainy Lake Conservancy is actively involved in conservation efforts in Northwestern Ontario. The Conservancy's primary areas of focus are Rainy Lake and its watershed. Here members gather water samples for water quality testing, educate property owners and residents on good shoreline practices, and sponsor bio diversity inventories. Equally important, the Rainy Lake Conservancy works with property owners, governments and local communities, encouraging the conservation of land through a variety of land protection options.

Since the early 1900s, Canadians and Americans have worked together to preserve Rainy Lake’s natural beauty, clean water, abundant plant and wildlife and its rich history (aboriginal, voyageurs, explorers).

Rainy Lake is a rare and precious place in a world where forests and clean lakes are rapidly disappearing.


The Rainy Lake Conservancy is proud to carry on the tradition of wilderness preservation into the 21st century. (learn More) 13,500_acres_protected.pdf

 

Namakan River Lake Sturgeon and Fragile Eco-system Threatened by Hydro Development

Plans are moving forward for hydroelectric development of the Namakan River in the heart of the wilderness area of Northwestern Ontario and Northern Minnesota. The Namakan River is adjacent to Quetico Provincial Park, the Superior National Forest, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, and Voyageurs National Park. Your help is urgently needed to preserve the Namakan's unique and fragile ecosystem and the surrounding protected areas.
